About this work

The painting shows a simple landscape with trees and a field. It's done in oil on cardboard, which is a bit unusual. The artist used this technique to create a rough texture, adding depth to the scene, and it's interesting to see how the oil paint works on a cardboard surface. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique: sfumato.
